Abstract: A cationic polyacrylamide flocculant (CPAM) for the coal slurry wastewater, was firstly synthesized using acrylamide and cationic monomer ethylene methyl propenoyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC). The structure of the synthesized CPAM was characterized by means of FT-IR measurement, and the effects of various factors on flocculation performance were studied. The optimum flocculation can be achieved according to the dosage of flocculant between 2 and 5 mg/L, pH value of 6, temperature of 40°C, and the dosage of DMC in CPAM of 17.5%.

Abstract: The Soda-AQ cooking of poplar was carried out in the study. Acid-precipitation was used in the process of the classification and separation of lignin from the black liquor, and different lignin samples were obtained. The molecular weight distributions of lignin samples were analysed by GPC(gel permeation chromatography). The results showed that the last stage of the dissolved lignin sample had low molecular weight. The structure of lignin was analysed by 31P-NMR,and the content of the aliphatic hydroxyl group, phenolic hydroxyl group and other functional groups was obtained. According to the molecular weight and the content of functional groups, the structural diagrams of lignin fragments which had small molecular weight was set up.

Abstract: To characterize the performance of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers of high modulus and low shrinkage (HMLS), static and dynamic mechanical test, DSC, DMA and sonic orientation experiments were carried out. The results indicated that tenacity, initial modulus, Lase-5 decreased and ultimate elongation increased with heat treatment temperature. The dimensional stability of the HMLS fiber is limited by the heat treatment especially when the temperature exceeded Tg because a larger plastic deformation happen with the relaxation of molecular chain in amorphous phase.

Abstract: Abstract. The aim of the present paper is to select suitable filtering material which would be effective for the separation of the aqueous petroleum emulsion. Furthermore, the paper discusses the principles and conditions for separation using filtering materials of different natures. During the experiments, the influences of several factors on the degree of separation were studied: 1) filler material 2) period of contact between emulsion and filler (by varying the model emulsion feeding rate and reactor size) 3) emulsion flow direction through the reactor (to study the effect of gravitation during separation). The experiments were performed with a cylindrical reactor. It was found that the effective separation of water and petroleum requires periods of contact between the emulsion and the filler. Besides, filler should have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.

Abstract: Yangchangwan (YCW) bituminous of Ningxia is a weakly reductive coal, which was characterized with low ash content, low sulfur content, low H/C and ash fusion, but high moisture, oxygen, inertinite and alkaline earth metal contents, also difficult to make slurry. Influence of dispersant kind and dosage on YCW CWS rheological behavior was studied using 8 dispersants. Examination was conducted in the lab. The results show that the dispersant and its dosage not only influence the apparent viscosity but also the rheological behavior of CWS. Methyl naphthalene acid salt formaldehyde condensation(MF) is the best dispersant for YCW bituminous coal and the optimal dosage is 1%. CWS were also prepared using compounded dispersants of sodium lignosulphonate and Methyl naphthalene acid salt of formaldehyde condensation and in order to investigate the slurry ability of CWS with compounded dispersants. The results show that compounded dispersants have a greater impact on the liquidity and stability of CWS, the optimal ratio of two dispersant is 3:7. Slurry technologies of blended coals were also studied in this paper, YCW bituminous coal with lower slurry ability , lower static s stability and poor theological behavior and Dafeng(DF) anthracite coal with good properties of CWS and the better theological behavior. The effect of the ratios of two coals on the static stability and viscidity of CWS was studied. The results show that CWS is better static stability ability and viscidity when the chemical additive quantity is at 1 parts per hundred and the ratio of two coals is 3:7.The effects of coal blending on the features of coal-water slurry are nonadditivity. It can effectively improve the concentration of coal water slurry, for coal which has difficulty in preparing coal-water slurry.

Abstract: In this paper, the instantaneous velocity fields of the particles in the spouted bed were measured by the particle image velocimetry (PIV). In the experiment, the spouted particles achieved the visible accumulation effect when the fountain height was 0.85 times of the packed bed height h. Since the particles are dispersed with each other, the PIV recordings were evaluated by the multiple-pass recursive method based on the FFT cross-correlation algorithm. The time-averaged velocity field of the particles obtained from the PIV experiment had similar distribution with the velocity field calculated by the numerical simulation. In the averaged particle velocity field, there was a continuous region which divided the whole flow field into two parts. The particle velocities in the region approximated to zero especially in vertical direction, which means the particles with upwards motion were basically equated to those with downwards motion in the region. Therefore the effects of particles’ face-to-face friction and even abrasion were much stronger in the region. Further, the experimental results also show that the area of the region could be about 11.19% of the whole flow field.

Abstract: The proper management of spent fuel arising from nuclear power production is a key issue for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. While conventional reprocessing process, PUREX process, was successful to recover uranium and plutonium, in recent years some countries have turned to focus on advanced reprocessing process, which features of partitioning of minor actinides (MA) and long-lived fission products(LLFP). Most advanced reprocessing processes under development involve new extractants and additional extraction cycles. In China, TRPO extraction process has been developed to partition MA/LLFP from high-level liquid waste(HLLW) since early 1980’s. In parallel to R&D work on separation technologies, studies on concentration & denitration process have been evolved to prepare feed solutions to suit qualifications of extraction. Industrially, concentration & denitration is the internationally recognized standard to treat HLLW released from PUREX before vitrification. It enables to minimize the volume of interim storage, to restrain the corrosion of storage tank, to recover nitric acid in HLLW and to reduce the required evaporation duty of the vitrification process. Generally, the constitution of concentrated HLLW has little impact on the following vitrification process. But when concentration & denitration acts as pretreatment process of partitioning, the composition of actinides, fission products, and nitric acid in concentrated HLLW solution plays significant role in extraction process. A series of technical issues relevant to the connection between concentration ﹠denitration and extractions should be solved. This paper describes current status of concentration & denitration technology utilized in industry and under reprocessing plants. The specific separation requirements in advanced reprocessing process and challenges to apply concentration & denitration process are addressed. Besides, concentration & denitration process was tested in laboratory to adjust feed solutions for TRPO and Cyanex301 partitioning. Results demonstrate its promising prospect in advanced reprocessing process.

Abstract: Formation damage is mainly due to the reduction of reservoir energy and the increase of flow resistance from reservoir. According to this theory, low carbon acid compound deplugging technology is introduced to improve well productivity. The compound blocking remover which will be used is consist of low carbon acid, rudimentary fatty acid and surfactant and so on. Where geological condition a large volume of carbon dioxide gas generate, through increasing the reservoir energy, removing all kinds of reservoir choke, the well productivity will increase effectively.
